Summary of Season 03: Part II of III
(Episodes 3.16 - 3.26)
Episode #3.16:
Jem
ran into Chelsea
at the hospital, and was surprised to hear that she's really going
to volunteer. He revealed he planned to ask her
father to invest in the paper--to repay Jem for hiring Chelsea.
Aghast, she begged him to reconsider. But Jem refused, his money
troubles too pressing to worry about her shaky relationship with
Charles.
Later, a casual remark by Charles--which Jem thought
was an insult to Chelsea--made Jem admonish Charles for cutting
Chelsea out of his life. Outraged, Charles threw Jem out. Jem was
horrified at his unusual burst of protectiveness for his secret
lover. Had he blown his chance to save the newspaper?
Alex
asked Martina
about her future with the law firm of Blake/Geary. Marty wondered
how he knew about the meeting, accusing him of following her. Alex
encouraged her to upgrade her job
and her man. He insinuated
that he wished he had a permanent record of their encounter in Marty's
office. Marty threatened to go to his boss, the DA, to reveal his
sexual blackmail. He called her bluff and left for an appointment
downtown, making a threat of his own.
Ian
invited Daphne
and the baby
inside the mansion to warm up. They clashed at their class differences,
Ian's pride irritating Daphne's prejudice. Daphne heard Danielle's
voice and remembered the redhead from Hannah's
house. Afraid that Danny would recognize her, she tried to leave.
Not understanding her worries, Ian hid Daphne in another room.
Danielle flirted with Ian, implying that their relationship
is more than just stepmother/stepson. Ian pointedly remarked that
his
father Cam would be returning soon for an intimate evening with
Danny. When Danny left, Ian rushed to Daphne and demanded to know
why the teen was so afraid of seeing Danielle.
Jonnie
was ordered to help Dean
strong-arm someone who owed them money. After driving downtown,
near the courthouse, Jonnie waited in the car while Dean demanded
payback from the unfortunate gambler. The other man asked for more
time, but Dean was unmoved. Jonnie was astonished when he saw the
identity of the victim
Episode #3.17:
Nervous about her date with Greg,
Rena
stopped off at Clark's
house for him to approve her outfit. Clark teased her for looking
so "girly" and playfully warned her that Greg would be all over
her like white on rice
At a Chinese restaurant, Greg admired
Rena's appearance and thanked her for finally agreeing to go out,
despite her worries about his reputation. He insisted that he'd
never promised monogamy to any woman. Rena warned him upfront that
if they continued to see each other, she would exclusivity. Greg
avoided her remark and told her to take things one step at a time.
Mike
drove up to the hospital upstate to take Frank
back home. He was taken aback at how grateful Frank was to Olivia,
and clearly seemed disturbed by the implications. Later, out
at dinner with Martina, he expressed his concerns to his sympathetic
girlfriend. Marty agreed that Olivia is manipulative and cold, not
to mention a blackmailer. Changing the subject, Mike gave Martina
a belated housewarming gift: a beautiful antique pendant that had
belonged to his mother.
Meanwhile, Olivia was interrupted before taking a bath
by a call from Bert,
who claimed concern about her absence from work. After he flirted
outrageously with her, Olivia told him to knock it off. When she
finally took her steamy bath, her thoughts were of Frank's kisses.
Ian
reacted with anger to Daphne's
revelations about her true relationship to Hope.
He called her selfish for stealing the baby from a much better home
than she could provide, and warned that his family would track her
down eventually. Tearful and guilty, Daphne agreed to give the child
back...but Ian realized that his uncle Nick
isn't the type to forgive easily.
Proof of Nick's harshness could be seen when Dean
ordered Jonnie
to rough up the gambling debtor--who turned out to be Jem!
Jem was just as surprised as Jonnie was, and desperately tried to
convince Dean that hiriing Jonnie had been a mistake. Afraid that
Jem would make Dean suspicious, Jonnie had no choice but to shut
him up by beginning the brutal assault on the helpless Jem.
Ian returned Hope to Hannah and Nick himself, telling
them that he'd found Hope alone, abandoned in the gardener's cottage.
Hannah was relieved but still angry at the situation, and Nick refused
to call of the search for the kidnapper. Worried, Ian returned home,
where Daphne waited for him in his room. He warned her that she
was still in danger of being caught...though he didn't elaborate
on exactly what that danger would be. He recommended that she stay
in hiding, at least until Nick finally calls off his men. Daphne
reluctantly agreed. Just when Ian promised she'd be safe, someone
knocked on his door.
While walking Rena home, Greg took her into his arms
and the couple shared their second kiss. Rena responded passionately--until
a sound interrupted them. A battered man fell out of the bushes,
and Rena realized in horror that it was Jem!
Episode #3.18:
As Daphne
hid behind Ian,
Ian opened his bedroom door to find his father, Cameron.
Cam, who already knew about Ian's "rescue" of Hope,
suspected that Ian was hiding something. To Daphne's astonishment,
Ian admitted that there was a girl in his room...his new lover.
Later, Ian felt guilty at lying to his dad, and took his anger
out on Daphne. He brusquely told her that she'd have to sleep in
his room tonight, and they'd leave early in the morning, after his
parents left the house.
At the hospital, Greg
told Rena
of Jem's
condition: stable, with possible head injury, two fractured ribs,
and a broken nose. Rena insisted on stay with Jem until he awoke.
Later, alone with Rena, Jem claimed that he didn't remember
the attack. Shaken and vulnerable, he asked Rena not to leave him
alone. She held his hand and sat by his bed as Greg privately observed
their closeness.
Ross
demanded that Jonnie
explain the wounds on his hands. Jonnie angrily admitted that he'd
been ordered by Dean
to hurt someone who owed Nick
money. Upset at this development, Ross tried to get Jonnie to tell
him the victim's name, to no avail.
The next morning, Jem woke up in the hospital, remembering
Jonnie's brutal attack. Chelsea
flew into his room, thinking that he was faking his wounds to get
closer to Rena -- just as she'd faked her twisted ankle
in order to gain Greg's sympathy. Furious at his 'stupidity,' she
yelled at him and pulled on his bandages, unwilling to listen to
Jem's cries of pain. Rena rescued Jem and tossed Chelsea out of
the room.
Ross was sitting pensively at a coffee shop when Martina
joined him for breakfast. Ross revealed his guilt feelings about
the undercover operation, basically having to sanction Jonnie's
violent behavior. Marty reminded the assistant district attorney
that it's an inevitable part of investiating a crime ring.
Later, Martina demanded that Ross fill her in on the
details about exactly who they were investigating. Ross reluctantly
revealed that their target is the Nichols family. Shocked, Marty
didn't reveal that Mike's
brother Victor
is engaged to Laurie
Nichols. Ross reminded Marty that she's sworn to secrecy.
Ian was going to drive Daphne home when Cameron spotted
them. Ian introduced Daphne as his girlfriend, and Daphne played
along. Cam was charming but suspicious about Daphne's age. He offered
to drive Ian and Daphne to Schuyler Falls in his limo, and Ian accepted.
When they dropped Daphne off, Ian got out of the car
with her to say goodbye. She asked Ian to let her know how Hope
is doing, and Ian agreed. To Daphne's surprise, Ian gave her a passionate
kiss--in order to keep up the pretense of a romantic relationship
in front of his father. Ian and Cam left Daphne, who was secretly
shaken by her response.
Episode #3.19:
At OmniCorp, Bert
tried to charm Olivia
both romantically and professionally. He suggested that Omni expand
its publishing division. Olivia wasn't enthusiastic about the idea
and tossed Bert and his flirtations out. Later, Livvy surprised
the convalescing Frank
by sending him a gift basket and visiting him at home. Touched,
Frank thanked her and offered to make dinner for her to repay her.
Olivia was flustered but agreed.
Tristan
and Martina
shared breakfast, trying to resume their friendship. But Marty was
shocked to learn that Tris is considering a partnership with Cameron
Nichols - whom she secretly knows to be under investigation
by the DA's office. She warned him not to accept Cam's offer, but
couldn't reveal why. Annoyed and defensive, Tristan left. He later
visited Cameron's company, Criterion Holdings, and agreed to a partnership.
Cam invited Tris to a gala opera benefit next week - with him and
Danielle.
Tris postponed making a decision and left, concerned but also excited
by the outrageous risks he's taking.
A bored Danielle
attended a fashion show benefit at C&B Square mall, but spent
more time fantasizing about her love life than eyeing the fashions.
Meanwhile, Beth
arrived to show some designs to Chelsea--who
was still stuck in the hospital with Jem.
As a fan of Beth's designs, Danielle decided to take a look herself.
She liked the dresses but remarked that they weren't
sexy enough. She mentioned her husband's nightclub, the Lighthouse,
and invited Beth to visit and spend the night there in the room
she keeps reserved. Beth wondered if Cameron minds Danielle's spending
the night alone. Danielle just smiled and didn't respond.
Rena
kicked Chelsea out of Jem's room, aghast at Chelsea's cynical response
to Jem's injuries. Rena showed her Jem's x-rays, and Chelsea realized
that Jem wasn't faking. Shaken, she returned to Jem and apologized
for her behavior. Later, Mike
questioned Jem about the assault, but Jem remained tightlipped.
Mike suspected that this was no mugging, since nothing seemed to
have been stolen--and he said as much to Chelsea. Chelsea stormed
into Jem's room and demanded he tell her the truth.
Later, Rena helped Clark
prepare for his audition for Ten Little Indians, trying to convince
him that he should try out for the lead role. Not confident of his
acting ability, Clark changed the conversation to hospital gossip,
which was now buzzing about Rena's spending so much time with Jem.
Jem insisted he wasn't lying to the police, even though
Chelsea continued to grill him. Unwilling to reveal the truth behind
his attack, he compared Chelsea's harshness to Rena's tender concern
for him. Chelsea warned him that as soon as he gets better, he'd
better start taking advantage of that concern by getting Rena away
from Greg. But her competitive streak shone through when she kissed
Jem goodbye, promising him that she'd 'take care' of him herself
once he recovers.
Rena was dismayed by the hospital staff rumors and
denied anything more than friendship between her and Jem. She deflected
Clark's probing questions about her date with Greg last night. Later,
as she walked down the hallway, she was too distracted by memories
of Greg to notice someone lurking nearby. Suddenly she was grabbed
and pulled into a darkened room!
Episode #3.20:
At Criterion Holdings, Cam
and Ian
talked about the return of Cameron's mother, who's been on a round-the-world
cruise. "Nana" was described as a haughty, powerful woman. Cam asked
Ian if he'd invite Daphne
to the opera gala next week, and Ian avoided the topic. Later, Cam
said that Ian's idea about an internet cafe would be a perfect fit
for Boondoggles, Criterion's new investment. He offered Ian a leadership
role in the new venture--indicating that Tristan
wouldn't be in control for long.
Rena
was swept into a passionate kiss, and her "attacker" was revealed
to be Greg.
She pushed him away, warning him not to compromise her reputation
at work like that again. Greg apologized and asked for another date.
Rena agreed. Conversation turned to Greg's responsibility towards
his niece Daphne. He revealed that he discovered she's skipped school
two days in a row...and that he plans on having a serious talk with
her.
Doug
called Daphne to chat, but she rebuked his attempts at reconciliation.
Tyler
visited Daphne for the first time since her adventures with Hope
and Ian. He took her to task for running on her own, and was shocked
when she revealed that she'd been held at gunpoint. He demanded
to know what happened with her and Ian.
While Frances
was waiting for her husband Ronald
at OmniCorp, she spent time with Olivia.
Olivia avoided questions about her weekend with Frank.
Later, Frank called to thank Olivia again for stopping by that afternoon.
Though their conversation was awkward and tentative, they hit it
off, and Frank asked her to dinner at his house tomorrow night.
Olivia agreed.
Chelsea
finally arrived at C&B's, and ran into Beth--who,
to her surprise, was doing some shopping as a favor to Danielle
Nichols. Beth told her about Danielle's increasing interest
in mentoring Beth, and Chelsea gleefully encouraged Beth to suck
up to the rich socialite.
Tristan
met with his architect at Boondoggles, still distracted by thoughts
of his reckless partnership with Cameron. Knowing the business deal
might put him in close contact with Cameron's wife, he tried calling
the Nichols house to warn Danielle--but she wasn't home. Tristan
had a hunch about her whereabouts and rushed out of the restaurant.
Tyler
visited Daphne
after school. She told him the whole story about the kidnapping.
She assured Tyler that Ian
hadn't harmed her, despite her having to spend the night at the
Nichols' house. He comforted her when she expressed remorse for
having messed up her chances to see Hope.
Just then, Greg
arrived, catching them in a kiss.
Greg made it clear that he didn't want Tyler taking
advantage of Daphne's state. After Ty left, Daphne chewed her uncle
out for embarrassing her. Eventually Greg agreed to treat her with
respect if she treats him with honesty. But when he suggested that
they go visit Hope this weekend, Daphne could hardly be honest as
to why she suddenly was against the idea...
Encouraged by Father
Ryan, Doug
went to a new Narcotics Anonymous meeting, where he met a man with
a no-bull attitude who challenged Doug to accept his situation once
and for all.
Beth
thought about Danielle's
offer to take her under her wing, but her dreams were interrupted
by a visit from her
mother. Their conversation led to a shocking vision, where Beth
remembered having been punished by having boiling water poured on
her hand. Ordering Elaine out, Beth seemed to morph into a new,
confident personality...
Clark's
audition for Ten Little Indians went well, and Father Ryan
was revealed to be the director of the play. Clark ran into Ross,
who was also auditioning, and the two hit it off like old friends.
Clark was called back for a lead role, but he was more happy thanks
to the renewal of his friendship with Ross.
At home, Ian warned Danielle about her nighttime partying...and
what might happen if Cameron
tires of being 'understanding.' She flirted with her stepson and
ignored his comments, leaving for a night out. Later, Ian was visited
by his girlfriend Lindsay, a former debutante. Cameron arrived and
asked about Danielle's whereabouts, worrying Ian.
Tristan
waited at the Lighthouse club for a while before at last spotting
his one-night-stand. Walking on the dock with her, he revealed that
he's now Cameron's business partner, and that they can't see each
other again. But before he knew it, she was wantonly undressing
him--and he gave in to the passion for one last night.
Episode #3.21:
After a wild evening of lovemaking, Tristan
tried to listen to his conscience and end things once and for all,
afraid to continue having an affair with Cameron's wife; instead,
she convinced him to admit how much he needs her. She offered
to help him be more confident and aggressive. Despite his
concern about her apparent desire for danger, Tristan gave in and
agreed to continue their affair.
At the hospital, Greg
complimented Rena
for making a risky judgement call during a medical crisis. Rena
returned the praise to Greg, for his handling the Daphne
situation well. He wondered why Daphne was no longer interested
in visiting her baby sister. As he and Rena made plans for tonight,
they ran into Charles--who
firmly asked Greg to meet with him later.
Elaine
was surprised to find Chelsea
in the editorial offices at the paper. Chelsea revealed that Jem
had asked her to bring a file over to the hospital. Elaine wondered
why he was interested in a ten-year-old file on racketeering. Later,
Elaine asked Chelsea what she thought of Beth's
work. Chelsea complimented Beth, leaving Elaine confused...and wondering
if Beth's odd behavior only manifests itself with her mother.
Jonnie
went to Cornwall to chauffeur Nick,
and Hannah
spotted the scars from Jonnie's beating of Jem. She was angry
with Nick for putting someone as young as Jonnie in this role. Things
cooled down, and Nick told Hannah that Jonnie would drive
her to her charity work later that afternoon. Privately, Nick
surprised Jonnie by expressing concern about how Jonnie was dealing
with having beaten a man so violently. The mobster revealed
that while violence was necessary in his business, it was not something
he enjoyed.
At OmniCorp, Bert
asked Olivia
to attend the opera gala with him. She blasted him for trying to
flirt with her, complained about his poor job performance, and said
that she was only tolerating his presence because Ronald
supports him. When she left, Ronald warned Bert against screwing
up. But Bert continued to express interest in Olivia romantically.
He was shocked when Ronald revealed that Olivia is seeing someone...and
disgusted when a secret look inside Olivia's datebook revealed that
someone to be Frank
Gabriel.
At the hospital, Jem thanked Rena for saving him the
night of his attack. He flirted with her and she enjoyed herself.
Meanwhile, Greg had his meeting with Charles, and was astonished
when Charles warned him to keep away from Chelsea. Greg told
Charles that his love life was none of Charles's business, but Charles
threatened to make things difficult for Greg at work if the younger
man pursued a relationship with his daughter. Greg stormed
out.
Cameron
asked Danielle about her evening last night, and she claimed to
be at a friend's house. Cam admitted he'd checked up on her, and
that the friend had vouched for Danny's whereabouts. Later he told
her about his new partnership with Tristan. Danielle claimed to
be surprised.
Laurie
visited Hannah and the baby, and they talked about Hannah's meeting
at the Arts Center later. Meanwhile, Jonnie waited in the
limo and had a tense conversation with Ross,
who demanded to see him this evening. Jonnie agreed to meet
him at the Red Flame diner. After he hung up, he was aghast when
Laurie appeared at the car window. Had she heard his discussion
with Ross?
Dean
surprised Jem with a hospital visit in order to give him a new
ultimatum: pay back the $35,000 he owes Nick in a month--half
within two weeks--or something very bad will happen.
Dean let Jem guess what that threat might mean. When Chelsea barged
into the room with the file Jem had asked for earlier, Dean's sly
comments made Jem realize that Chelsea would be the thug's
next target!
Episode #3.22:
Jonnie
drove Laurie
to the Fiore family house, still unsure if she'd really overheard
his phone call with Ross
planning to meet at the Red Flame Diner. Meanwhile, inside the Fiore
house, Mike
and Tom
were surprised to find out that Victor
and Laurie had decided on a wedding date--only two months away!
The older brothers tried to convince Victor to wait, with hot tempers
flaring especially between Tom and Victor. When Laurie arrived for
a night with Victor, she didn't want to interrupt the family argument.
Secretly thinking of Jonnie, she slyly told Vic that she'd take
a walk and come back later--might as well get some coffee at the
Red Flame.
At the hospital, Chelsea
wondered what Jem
found so interesting in the file on an old racketeering case he
was reading. Crabby Jem wouldn't give her any details--nor would
he tell her anything more about the big lug who'd been in his room
earlier. When she left, Jem prayed she'd never have a reason to
get better acquainted with Dean
Nelson.
Later, Chelsea began her volunteer work in the psychiatry
department by meeting Kalid
Behar, a soft-spoken psychiatrist. He--like everyone else--wondered
why Chelsea was really interested in the psych ward. She admitted
some of her background in helping a relative who'd had a nervous
breakdown and was subsequently institutionalized...omitting the
fact that this was her mother. As she began to work she was already
wondering if she'd made a mistake...
Ross, Clark
and Lynn
listened to Ryan's
welcoming speech at the first meeting of the Ten Little Indians
cast. Ryan made the amateur actors feel much more comfortable. Later,
Hannah
arrived for the Arts Council meeting. Ross was astonished to see
the subject of his investigation at such close range. The only person
more shocked was Ryan, who clearly knew Hannah from somewhere...
As Ross hurried to meet with Jonnie, Lynn and Clark
went for a drink together. They had a good time until an angry Tom
Fiore appeared. Lynn played Cupid and brought Tom and Clark together,
even though Clark wasn't interested in seeing his ex again. But
when he saw how upset Tom was, sensitive Clark couldn't help but
try to help.
Meanwhile, Ross met with Jonnie at the Red Flame parking
lot in Ross's car. He warned Jonnie that without real proof, this
investigation was going to go nowhere fast. They'd have to catch
the Nichols family red-handed at something. Jonnie was aghast when
Ross brought up the possibility of Jonnie's getting closer...much
closer...to Hannah.
At the theater, Hannah was leaving the meeting when
Ryan called her name. They greeted each other a bit awkwardly as
old friends, who obviously hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Their discussion implied that their past was not a happy or easy
one. Ryan was surprised that Hannah knew about his joining the church.
When he realized she was on the board of the theater, Ryan grew
strangely upset and wondered if his job as director was Hannah's
doing.
Laurie searched the Red Flame Diner but couldn't find
Jonnie. Starting to walk home, she overheard Jonnie yelling at Ross
to leave him alone. She hid and listened in, hearing Ross warning
Jonnie that he was making a grave mistake. Once the men angrily
parted company, Laurie put in a quick call to her brother Nick,
warning him that they might be in big trouble....
Episode #3.23:
Ross
warned Jonnie
against committing more crimes during this undercover assignment.
Jonnie reminded him that he had no choice but to do whatever Nick
Nichols ordered. Ross gave Jonnie an order of his own: cultivate
a relationship with Hannah
Nichols.
Olivia
arrived at Frank's
for their date, and realized how attracted she is to the detective.
Frank offered up a toast to the two of them having survived their
ordeal in the woods.
Charles
and Cynthia
dined with Ronald
and Frances.
The foursome caught up with current events, including Ronald's elevation
to CEO at Omni. Frances and Ronald debated whether Bert
was more trustworthy than Tristan,
and Frances revealed that she isn't as impressed by Bert as Ron
is.
At Moonlight Bay, Tom
admitted to Clark
that he'd blurted some ugly comments about Laurie
to Victor.
Clark reminded Tom that his anger has always caused trouble. Tom
got nastily defensive, proving Clark's point. The younger man apologized,
and the two former lovers shared better memories.
Ryan
demanded to know why Hannah
would do him any favors after what he's done to her. Hannah said
that she wanted to see him happy. Ryan kept her from leaving, wanting
to explain his past behavior. Jonnie
arrived and, getting the wrong idea about Ryan's holding the upset
Hannah, pointed a gun at the "attacker." Hannah defused the situation
and left, though Jonnie flashed a wary look at Ryan...and Ryan was
left wondering exactly why Hannah needs a bodyguard.
Episode #3.24:
Rena
asked Martina
and Mike
whether Greg
may have purposely "forgotten" their date, setting Rena up to find
him with Chelsea. Mike thought this was unlikely. Marty wondered
if Chelsea
planned the run-in, wanting Rena to back off. Rena doubted Chelsea
thought of her as a threat. But Mike revealed that Chelsea--his
ex--isn't as self-assured as she seems.
Leaving the hospital, Greg tried unsuccessfully to
call Rena. Chelsea asked why Rena had been so upset at their having
coffee together. She jokingly (but pointedly) warned him that Rena
was already trying to leash him up. Greg defended Rena, but also
found himself enjoying Chelsea's company. Their chemistry sparkled,
and Greg moved in for a kiss...
Charles,
unaware that his fear about his daughter and Greg was coming true,
explained to Ronald
and Frances
his wish to fire Greg. Frances blasted both him and Ronald for accusing
Greg of stealing medication without proof. Charles admitted he lacked
anything solid. Ronald privately suggested to Charles that the solution
was hiring a detective: his daughter, Maxine.
Olivia
and Frank's
argument escalated when Frank let it slip that he considered Livvy
a friend. Olivia challenged him to be truthful about his feelings,
and Frank blurted that he was afraid to. Pressing him further, Olivia
moved so close to Frank that he could no longer resist his attraction
to her. At long last, they melted into each other with a passionate
kiss.
Greg found himself kissing Chelsea's forehead. Chelsea
hid her disappointment, helped by Greg's promise that he'd support
her whenever she feels blue. Later, Chelsea admitted her plans to
walk home in the dark, but Greg insisted on driving her. She gratefully
agreed. Luckily, he didn't notice Chelsea's parked car, only yards
away.
Still in a heated embrace, Olivia and Frank were interrupted
by a phone call--from Bert. He urgently insisted that Livvy come
down to OmniCorp at once. Worried about the apparent emergency,
Olivia reluctantly left Frank...both still surprised and happy at
the turn in their relationship.
Episode #3.25: Rena, low about Greg's behavior,
returned to the hospital rather than face her empty home. The nurse
was helped by her patient when Jem claimed to know how Rena was
feeling. As he successfully got past her defenses, Jem felt almost
guilty about his deception. Naturally, he continued anyway. Meanwhile,
after Greg drove Chelsea home, Chelsea "advised" him on how to play
Rena's game. Embracing him, she pointedly said it was time to cheat.
Clark, Ross and Lynn were in high spirits after their evening
at the bar, but the fourth member of the party was not as happy.
Tom had jealously noticed the chemistry between Clark and Ross.
He and pulled Clark aside and accused him of making an ass of himself
over a straight (or closetted) guy.
At OmniCorp, Olivia demanded that Bert explain the so-called emergency.
Bert surprised her by producing the revised marketing report she'd
asked for only hours ago. He then showed her a new online fashion
and lifestyle magazine still in development. Olivia envied the company
that produced it, but didn't understand why Bert was showing it
to her.
Bert then revealed the site was OmniCorp's, since he'd almost
completed a partnership deal with the site's publisher. Furious
at his presumption at going over her head, Olivia icily told Bert
that she'd have to think it over, but he shouldn't expect to have
a job to return to.
Waiting for Victor in the empty Fiore home, Laurie took advantage
of his absence by examining his family pictures. She was very interested
in the photo of Victor's late mother, and extremely pleased when
Victor produced her Christmas present -- an antique pin that had
belonged to his mom.
Clark denied his feelings for Ross. The argument escalated until
Tom turned violent against his former lover. Ross and Lynn broke
up the fight and took Clark home. Clark refused to reveal the source
of the conflict, but bitterly revealed that Tom's explosive temper
is nothing new.
Episode #3.26: Shopping for Christmas presents,
Rena grew concerned about Clark's apparent injury or illness. Not
wanting to tell her about Tom's violent behavior, Clark brushed
her worries aside.
At C&B Department Store, Daphne literally bumped into Cameron
Nichols...and his wife, Danielle, whom Daphne realized could remember
Daphne's role in Hope's kidnapping. And Danny did indeed feel that
Daphne's face was somehow familiar...
Martina shared her Chanukah with Mike, who gave her a frame with
a restored photograph of her parents. He also surprised her with
a mock ransom note warning her that one day she'll be 'kidnapped'
and taken to a romantic location for a weekend.
Hannah invited Jonnie to spend the holiday night with the entire
Nichols family. Laurie overheard and flatly told Jonnie that he
wasn't welcome. Not knowing why Laurie distrusts Jonnie, Hannah
chastized her for her behavior. Laurie just said that she has something
to talk about with Nick...
While visiting Jem, Chelsea was frustratingly smug and self-satisfied.
Jem didn't understand why until Chelsea revealed -- or at least
implied -- that Greg had finally given in to her charms.
